I have not been back in a long time so no idea if it is still in the family. I know my father sold his share of the family farm acres.... 80 acres total... decades ago. Big white farm house with front porch and a fenced in yard. Barn, silos, machine shed. A typical Iowa farm. Would love to see the inside of the house once again. I have a photo of we four siblings sitting on the stairway up to the bedrooms... very cool house.<br />Pepper Medleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110649461220452249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-86431565756531277542015-06-08T09:18:29.205-04:002015-06-08T09:18:29.205-04:00Someday your daughter will appreciate having seen ...Someday your daughter will appreciate having seen this place. ;) EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-12276261024900725912015-06-08T08:51:05.396-04:002015-06-08T08:51:05.396-04:00Very cool!Very cool!Jensamom23https://www.blogger.com/profile/10321234556592896861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-4914210271874655652015-06-08T08:20:17.410-04:002015-06-08T08:20:17.410-04:00must be a new link up ... i will have to check it ...must be a new link up ... i will have to check it out. i will ... have a nice week.

Anyway, no worries about the teenage girl being not too impressed. I remember thinking things like that when I was a kid. Getting a few years under the belt can make a difference. Maybe she will give us another assessment in a decade or two. Have a great week ahead!John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.com
